Lenny Henry calls for law to boost numbers of BAME's on TV

http://www.theguardian.com/media/2014/m ... television

What's he on? I've seen David Harewood in any number of shows over the decades, and Luther doesn't have many friends, they're more acquaintances!

That whole 'tinkering at production-level up' bit is laughable too.

While I'm all for stamping out racism in industry, racial quotas are just as racis and unfair.
The best person should get the job regardless.

It rather reminds me of Harriet Harmon trying to advocate that one of the two most senior positions in the Labour Party should always be held by a woman. As far as I can tell, most sane people viewed this as meaning that one of the two most senior posts in the Labour Party should be held by Harriet Harmon.

If you have as little talent as Lenny Henry then I guess you have to try and work every angle that you can.

Lenny probably needs work.
